Is there much point of an oil cooler on a 172, not being funny just wondering?

so its loosend up the revs before 5k:) is it a standerd system you run, does it feel any quicker and less restrictive, what decat did you go for?

As some of you may know im having problems with my cup, now that i have the correct backbox on the car its responding well, but now i want to remove all restrictions from it and put on a de-cat, Will it fit the standerd system ok? any recomendations? and what sort of gains will it produce...

Thats a very nice offer Fred but that would be alote of expence for something that might be very small, cheers for the offer anyway much apppreciated:) well took it out this afternoon and went to the limiter in forth, would not reach the limiter in forth before the exhaust was fitted, so just...

Yeah certainly was, wanted to know what times i was getting before the car was fixed so i could see the differance in times etc, where you? Im not sure what you mean Fred:)

Well today was the day the cup went back into evanshalshaw! Was booked in for the exhaust change over and compresion test, so at 12 oclock the g/f went and picked it up, when i got home from work i asked her what the results of the test were, they didnt do it she said so straight on the phone to...

ive only ever had to top up my water when i put on my new coolant hoses on

will the compresion test show that there is something wrong with one of the valves mate??? I really dont think that the backbox will make that much difference but its another thing sorted i suppose:) Im just away to buy a powerflow system of crustycup i thing so the standerd brand new back box...

lmao thought it would be a laugh, im getting so much stick already:rasp:

Na not doing that mate, i love my cup to much for that:) its still got 2 years warranty so one way or another renault are going to have to fix it

well when the exhaust is fixed on thursday and it makes any difference i will be wanting a new system with de-cat:)

yeah thursday for the exhaust change but going to see if i can get a hold of ali before hand and see if he will sell me the cat he has, and i will get renault to bung that on at the same time and see if that makes any difference, thats if nothing is detected throught the compression test

Crail. was dry too:eek: well i will find out on thursday if its an engine problem when they do the compression test, but it does run very smooth, but when hot the exhaust.........blufs if thats the rite word lol its just like pop, pop, pop, pop, etc is this common, its a standard system with cat?

When powerflow made your exhaust mate did they do a de-cat for you also orwas that a seperate item you bought from another tuning company?

To see if they could find the problem with my 129 cup, Well arrived there at bang on 8am and gave them my keys, the senior mechanic came out and said can he go out for a little drive-so off he went a couple of minutes later he came back. First thing he said to me was it was to quick to be 129bhp...

Im a big hater in kits etc but the mk1 clios really do suit the dimma look, i think thats an awesome example but there few and far between:eek:

I lost 30.9, but wasnt much at the flywheel tho;)

Yeah i would have thought the mechanic would be doing that first, but then again ive seen stranger things happen. Cheers for the help:)

Cool! i could be killing to birds with one stone then as its due to be done next month anyway, heres hoping its a sticky valve then:o

If it turns out that there is a problem with my valves in the cup or anything which involves taking the head off, will renault have to replace the cam belt of will the old one just get used again?
